      No, beer belly is just developing extra layers of fat like normal because drinking beer is like eating bread, it’s full of carbs.

      This is more like a “his abdomen filled with fluid it wasn’t supposed to very rapidly because of organ failure or something”; but that’s not what “beer belly” refers to

        Tbh I’ve thought it may also can refer to the sudden bloating you get from beer.

        And with how prevalent NCGS seems to be according to current research, I wouldn’t be surprised.

        My belly went from looking kinda like that to showing a bit of muscle definition when I went off gluten and dairy. And now with accidental gluten exposure, I swell up like a balloon.
